It’s a good idea to always let every doctor you see know when there is any change of medication from another doctor. That way you don’t have to worry about surprise drug interactions. Remember that eye drops are very potent medications and aspirin and other over the ocunter meds can affect your system. Mark

Yeah, tell me beta-blockers are "very potent". Neither timolol nor betaxolol reduced my average IOPs one iota over two years, nor did they have any adverse affects or any effects on me at all. It seems to me that plenty of other persons have also seen no effects from these beta-blockers. >and aspirin and other over the ocunter meds can >affect >your system.
